Not that I’m not a pretty easy sell anyway on the notion of a CD/DVD live outing from UK melancholy deep-divers Antimatter, but the live video they’ve posted for “Monochrome” makes the case even stronger for Live Between the Earth and Clouds. That track originally appeared on 2012’s Fear of a Unique Identity (review here), and while the tracklisting below shows a couple of cuts from last year’s The Judas Table (review here) as well in “Black Eyed Man,” “Can of Worms” and “Stillborn Empires,” there’s also a fair bit of it that’s retrospective, which apparently fits with the theme of Antimatter‘s upcoming tour marking 10 years since the release of their fourth album, Leaving Eden.

If it seems odd that a band might tour their fourth record a decade later, it kind of is, but it makes sense when one considers that was the point when multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Mick Moss really took the reins in the group after the departure of co-founder Duncan Patterson. It really was the beginning of a new era for Antimatter, and one that finds them continuing to flourish today, as the aforementioned clip below for “Monochrome” shows.

Preorders are up now for Live Between the Earth and Clouds, which releases on March 3. Info on that and the tour dates follow:
